Since we first posted about the release of LipFusion's revolutionary new lip plumper, we've been getting tons of inquiries about it and whether or not is really works.  It's been advertised in all the latest magazines, and celebrities like Carmen Electra and Shannon Elizabeth are listed as big fans.  DeLush was thrilled to receive a sample of this so that we could share our experience with you.

From the Sephora website:  "The next generation of lip plumpers has arrived. LipFusion is a clear treatment gloss infused with revolutionary technology to plump lips instantly – no kidding.

How it works: Tiny, dehydrated, marine collagen micro spheres are instantly absorbed by the lips, and seek out the body’s natural moisture. As soon as the spheres become re-hydrated, they plump and hold onto the moisture they’ve collected, creating a mild “swelling” of the lip tissue. The result is fuller, smoother, perfectly plumped lips in seconds. Results can last for up to 48 hours.

Breaking News! Lip Fusion has earned the coveted Good Housekeeping Seal, after being evaluated by the prestigious Good Housekeeping Institute, the consumer product testing branch of Good Housekeeping magazine. "We are thrilled that LipFusion is among a select list of beauty products backed by the prestigious Good Housekeeping Seal, a well-known symbol of confidence in consumer products," said Melissa Shabinsky, President and Co-Founder of Fusion Beauty. Prognosis: LipFusion instantly plumps the lips.

To use: Apply morning and evening or as needed to moisturize and plump the lips throughout the day. Can also be applied over or under lip color."

Jen's Experience:  When I first read the description of LipFusion and how it works, it sounded terrific but too good to be true.  I am happy to report that it really works!  I got my sample in the mail right before a weekend vacation to Las Vegas, the perfect place to give it a try.  The first thing I noticed was that it tastes great without being too overpowering.  It tingles for the first 10 minutes or so after you put it on, and the effects are visible almost immediately.  One of the things I really liked about it was that, although it's clear, it produces a really nice light pink color once I've applied it to my lips.  I didn't want to stain the applicator brush, so I haven't been applying it over my makeup.  It looks great alone, but it's fantastic as a lipstick primer.  Because it plumps up your lips, it really even out the texture of your lips and makes sparkly lip glosses look like perfection.  It's tempting to wear it alone, but the effects seem to last longer when you put lipstick or gloss on top of it.    I found that the effects are cumulative: if you put it on in the morning and again when you go out at night, you will see the lip plumping action last longer and longer with continued use.  A splurge?  Absolutely.  But absolutely worth every penny.
